Remembering Sofia Isabel Soto
Our continued love and support to our former president and CEO, Javier Alberto Soto and his family, on the passing of their daughter Sofia Isabel.
To honor the beautiful life of Sofia Isabel, three philanthropic funds have been established to uplift community organizations close to the family. Collectively, the Funds have raised over $150,000 in her memory.
On behalf of the Soto family, we thank the Miami community for their support, love and prayers.

- The Sofia Isabel Fund for Firefly Autism, at The Denver Foundation
- Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors
University of Miami’s Center for Autism and Related Disabilities
The mission of the University of Miami’s Center for Autism and Related Disabilities (UM CARD) is to provide support and assistance with the goal of optimizing the potential of people with autism and related disabilities. The Soto family is deeply grateful for the guidance, support, and love they have received from everyone at UM CARD. This fund will be held as an endowment at The Miami Foundation.
Firefly Autism
Firefly Autism provided Sofia with abundant support and love during her time in Colorado. Gifts to this fund will help Firefly Autism support children like Sofia. This fund will be held as an endowment at The Denver Foundation.
Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors
Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors was established in 2002 by Steve and Terri Irwin as a way to include and involve other caring people in the protection of injured, threatened, or endangered wildlife – from the individual animal to an entire species. Sofia loved the Irwin family’s television programs, which promote wildlife conservation and kindness to animals. Australia Zoo will devote all dollars received in Sofia’s name to its koala conservation program.
